Can someone explain all the tech mumbo jumno with "blu ray or 1080p" files...

I know the Encoding for blu ray is:

MPEG-2
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
VC-1

So if a file ends in 1080p BluRay blah blah x246 is that what it refers to? Blu ray encoding?

So is that how is that how the video was compressed?
What about the audio? whats the best for audio?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The codec? for the best blu ray file is H.264
Resolution is 1920x800
Audio AC3?

can some one explain coding, decoding, codec, compression, and which file will work on the ps3... sorry if any of the questions are n00by.

Please and Thanks

Just go for .mkv files for 1080p although they won't work on the PS3. If you want to play 1080p on PS3 go for avi files.

For a codec H.624 will work if you want to encode films in 1080p

Unless you are going to edit videos, you are asking way to many questions.

To answer the thread title, MKV
x264 is a 'library' for encoding H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, which is can be downloaded as codec to stream those files, typically windows computers do not have the capabilities to play heavy hd mkv files with out said codec

well that's how it was explained to me....

You want x264 in the .mp4 wrapper.

Select high profile, RF 23 constant quality and for audio use highest bit rate AAC.

I download MKV files and stream on the PS3, where did you learn all the code, decoding codec stuff?

Just by messing around with codec types when converting files.

Honestly, your best bet is to google this and read about it. I had to do it at some point and it's worth it if you're genuinely curious about this sort of stuff.

It would take too long to explain bit rate, x246 vs h.264, mkv vs mp4, AC3 vs DTS etc. - Google it.

I strongly recommend that you don't assume one is better than the other. It's a bit complicated, there's so much more involved.
